Happy St. Patrick’s Day, all! Today I’m going to give you a six-line preview of my new m/m/m ménage, Stable Hill, which is currently in pre-order at Dreamspinner Press. Oscar lost his husband three years ago and is raising their girls on his own now. Russ is the barn manager at Stable Hill Farm that became the farm manager when Oscar’s father became too ill to manage it himself any longer. The third soon-to-be lover, who is not in this particular snip, is Jeffrey, the realtor Oscar has hired to sell the farm.
This time when the silence fell between them, Oscar tried to let it be, but Russ seemed way more comfortable with it than he was. He watched the waves of grass blowing in the hayfield and examined the porch railing, which Russ must have painted recently because it looked great. He did pretty much anything but look at Russ; if he were honest, he was a little intimidated. The guy knew the farm inside and out, as Oscar had once when he’d lived with Dad, but didn’t anymore. Russ also knew damn well that Oscar hadn’t spent any real time out here in, well, years really, and the last year especially. Russ and Dad had become friends, and sometimes he worried that Russ was closer to Dad than he was.

Here’s the blurb:
Can three men from very different backgrounds find a home and a future together?
After losing his husband to cancer, Oscar Kennedy has his hands full with their four girls, the house, his job, and his mother-in-law. When he loses his father too, keeping Stable Hill, the old horse farm where he grew up, becomes impossible. Oscar hires Jeffrey Stokes, a slick-looking real estate broker with a roll-up-his-sleeves work ethic, to get it on the market.
Russell White manages the day-to-day at Stable Hill. Russ had loved Oscar’s dad like a father, and took on even more responsibility when the old man fell ill. He is shocked and saddened by Oscar’s decision to sell.
All three men have a stake in Stable Hill, and it’s not long before they start to invest in one another too. But their complicated relationship doesn’t make having to sell Stable Hill any easier. Will the fragile triad they’re building last when the farm that brought them together is gone?
Have a great weekend!
